The results are in. The winners of D&AD 2025 have been announced, with an impressive 668 Pencils awarded to the industry's most innovative commercial creatives. This year, three projects earned the coveted Black Pencil award, emphasising the importance of purposeful design that balances style and function as "a catalyst for commercial success and behavioural change."
